Tears of the Kingdom – where to find the Cap of Time

The Cap of Time is part of the Hero of Time set. It goes along nicely with the Tunic of Time and the Trousers of Time.

To find the Cap of Time, head to the Depths and make your way to the Sturnida Lavafalls area. This is a dangerous place. The heat rapidly saps your energy if you’re not prepared. Make sure to equip the Flamebreaker armor set. Otherwise, bring along elixirs that offer strong Heat Resistance.

You can navigate the Depths in a variety of ways. I entered the Depths using only a few of the chasms available in the overworld. Then I explored to find Lightroot locations. I recommend this approach if you’re patient like me.

If you have explored the Depths fairly thoroughly, you will have ventured to the northwest portion. Specifically, you should have found the Nupisoyuat Lightroot. See the screenshot of its location above. That Lightroot corresponds to the Tauyosipun Shrine in the overworld. The closest chasm is the Hyrule Ridge Chasm. You find it a short distance north from the Tabantha Bridge Stable.

Enter the Depths through the Hyrule Ridge Chasm and make your way northwest to Nupisoyuat Lightroot. Or, if you have already activated it, fast travel to that location.

From Nupisoyuat Lightroot, head southeast. You’ll find a Blue-White Frox that is hard to miss. Veer left ahead of that monster and climb the hill to reach the low point on a massive root. Ascend to its high point. This takes you into the Sturnida Lavafalls area.

You’ll find yourself overlooking the lava falls. Two Poes rest where you should stand. See a map of the root’s location above. Right near the falls, a chest rests on the higher of two rock ledges. Paraglide over to the ledge. Open the chest to acquire the Cap of Time.
